The Detroit Lions appear to have found themselves a true in-the-box safety with the selection of Miles Killebrew from Southern Utah in the fourth round (111th overall).
He’s one of the biggest hitters in this draft, and could potentially play either strong safety or linebacker at this level. He's one of those versatile defenders a creative defensive coordinator like Teryl Austin can find a few hats for.
Killebrew reached the triple-digit mark in tackles each of the past two seasons (101 in 2014, 132 in 2015) and also showed an ability to handle pass coverage responsibilities with three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown in 2014) and seven pass breakups in 2015.
